Trends in underground mining for gold and base metals
Underground hard-rock mining accounts for 40 percent of global mining operations but only 12 percent of run-of-mine (ROM) production. 1 Run of mine is ore that is mined and crushed. In this article underground mining refers to underground hard-rock mining; thus, underground soft-rock mining, such as coal, is excluded.

Calculation of Ore Tonnage & Grade from Drill hole Samples
MINERAL ORE RESERVE Case 1. When all holes have positive values, let a, b and c, be the depth of ore in the three holes forming the prism; to find the average depth of the ore influenced by any given hole, use the formula: d = 4a + b + c/6. Then, as one proceeds from hole to hole, b and c should be substituted, thus: 4b + a + c/6 and 4c …
